The fact that nobody in the mainstream supports him means he is the underdog.. heavily so.. and I back the underdog by default! After having heard and read of the case for his incarceration and the case for his acquittal, I think he is being punished for bucking the big bosses in the US Military/Pentagon/CIA/White House.. Go, Manning! You are more man than all those slaving for the Masters of the Universe!

Yeah lets fry anyone (anyone who is NOT CONVICTED OF ANYTHING) unless the US makes up a new law to convict anyone under

One wonders how your Goverment can CONDEMN HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, YET stinks of it in your own Country

Assuming he passed on classified information, what do you propose? A slap on the wrist and discount vouchers to Disneyworld?

I have far more sympathy for Julian Assange who is publishing leaked information (as do newspapers on a regular basis). Not much sympathy for Bradley Manning (if he is proven to be guilty as charged)... he's basically a traitor.

Its exactly for the purpose of enabling the leakage of secret info in public interest that whistle-blower protections were included in the law book. Its a whole different matter that successive governments in the USA and most governments in the world treat the law like a mangy cur.. Bradley Manning - American Hero!
